1966 Dart GT-it begins
A couple things did not arrive yet to do what I had planned so I opened up the engine a little. This is not the original since the block is cast 11/64. I do not know as the experts here, all the casting numbers etc to know what is what.
The engine started quick, idled fine and drove well after going the carb and fuel system before the tear down. All holes held good compression but #1 would fail a leak down. The plug would be wet…and since it had dual exhaust, that side would smoke.
I had a bunch of receipts when I bought it reference a rebuild in ‘15 indicating .30 over new pistons etc and one sleeve but no mention which cylinder. In the trunk was a 2 brl intake and carb but the motor had a 4 brl intake and Edelbrock on it. Here are pics. I didn’t remove the right side head today or the pan.
